Recente recensies door K33N

kinda got weird.

Everything good about the first game but even better.

All the little details were wacky and off. Worse looking graphics than the original, less tightness and less smart design. Noticed low poly stuff stuff and textures that felt Skyrim-y. Doesn't play like Doom 2016. Animations felt poor compared to the previous entry, noticeable jankyness. Couldn't bring myself to play past ~45 mins, did not feel at all worth the price tag.

Interesting, unique, fun to be creative.

its great

Dwarf Fortress lite or Gnomoria++.

No other game will shock and enthrall you with generated narratives like this except for maybe Dwarf Fortress.

A completely unique RPG strat that is endlessly entertaining and replayable.

I do have to ask myself if I would ever pay the $200+ dollar entry fee instead of gradually purchasing them like I did, and although you can probably get that price down to $80 by only buying the essentials, it is with great hesitation that I give it a thumbs up.

Imagine Dark Souls with really bad hit boxes and it takes literally 20 mins or more to kill anything. On top of that add all the worst excesses of Japanese storytelling, item management and UI design.

The fanaticism of the core audience is a direct result of sunk-cost bias and the obfuscation of fundamentally flawed gameplay by provoking the brain with soul crushing grind.

The art design of the monsters and levels looks really good though, even if it is tainted by the garish NPCs and PC.

This is an example of a game that makes me wish that steam's reviews were not the yes/no binary.

If you just want to map paint with a new, smooth engine using typical paradox combat, this game is for you. If not...

Its like EU3: a blobby, gamey nightmare that has no relationship to history other than the names and the maps; a promise unfulfilled. A game where the Ottomans cannot conquer Constantinople because of vague and irrational ideas of "balance." ffs I'm even kite / baiting the enemy and stack wiping him like EU3, even though they chose to include the strange shattered retreat mechanic.

This game needs A LOT of work in order to shape up into a game about antiquity, and sadly that is probably going to mean an additional $80 - $120 of DLC. The fact that this has day-1-DLC is a bad omen for things to come.

Here's to hoping that the initial patch cycle can shape this thing up, because it really does have potential. I have my doubts that it will be anything other than "insert $50 for Rome and Carthage" and "insert $50 for Persia."

An absolute classic with gameplay mechanics that far outdo the later entries in the series.
